Q. California Community Property Law and an Unfinished E-Book

February 11, 2025

A: Is your spouse claiming any interest in the non-income-generating e-book? It would seem that this could be easily addressed as part of your settlement discussions; unless there's reasonable likelihood that the e-book will generate income, my guess is your spouse will gladly agree to assigning it to you as your separate property. In any case, speak with a local attorney for assistance. [I litigate cases. Anything posted here must not be construed as legal advice, nor as grounds for forming an attorney-client relationship.

Q. If the kids live with me is he still qualified for alimony and child support

[See FC 852] It's difficult to tell when the ring was given to you. Speak with a local attorney about your specific matter. [I litigate cases.
